Introduction to Linux for Security Analysts

Posted on December 12th, 2017

This video provides a crash course introduction to Linux for security analysts. It is common for security analysts to enter the field with their Linux skills lacking. Linux provides a security analysts with such powerful data analysis capabilities using built-in utilities (Grep, Sed, Awk, Egrep, Sort, Uniq, etc.).

This video hopefully gives someone new to Linux a few jumping off points by showing some useful examples (analyzing pcap, parsing nmap, simple for loop automation, and parsing HTML). The video ends with a quick proof of concept example of how to enumerate *most* of Facebook’s public infrastructure using a single bash command.
